‘Titanic 3-D’ censored in China over breast worries

Update: Although it was originally reported that film censors in China edited Kate Winslet’s topless scene in “Titanic 3D” because audiences would find it too erotic, in fact, the official reason for censoring the scene is undisclosed at this time.

The British beauty stripped off for a key scene in the 1997 drama, and moviegoers around the world are flocking to see the film following its release in 3D earlier this month.

However, fans in China were baffled to discover Winslet’s scene had been edited out, with the star only being seen from the neck up.

Officials at China’s State Administration of Radio, Film and Television reportedly stated, “Considering the vivid 3D effects, we fear that viewers may reach out their hands for a touch and thus interrupt other people’s viewing.

“To avoid potential conflicts between viewers and out of consideration of building a harmonious ethical social environment, we’ve decided to cut off the nudity scenes.”
